*Packaging info: designed exclusively as a refill for our reusable 30g Biophotonic Glass jar. Once opened, gently place the foil bag into the jar or transfer the Matcha directly into it, and keep airtight at all times. As this refill bag does not re-seal, we don't recommend it to first-time customers who don't have an airtight and light-proof container.
YUKIRO is our finest Ceremonial Grade Uji Matcha.
Produced in small batches from young and tender tea leaves that lack of any astringent flavour, YUKIRO brews a gentle and sweet liquor that slowly unveils a surprising complexity: initial fresh notes of young peas and green sprouts give way to a nutty and savoury profile with a strong Umami finish.
We are proud to be offering this rare artisanal Matcha that has been blended in collaboration with Mr. Morita Haruhide - a highly respected Kyoto Tea Master and Blender that has been awarded countless titles and appraisals, including a 9th level Tea Master dan that is held by only a handful of Japanese.
We suggest brewing our YUKIRO with a ratio of 2g Matcha to 60ml of water, meaning that your brew will be rich and intense, fully expressing the subtle and complex flavours of this Matcha.
We tested the L-Theanine levels of this Matcha, which shows an outstanding count of 26.7 mg/g (6x higher than average commercial-grade Matcha). Tested by APAF Australian Proteome Analysis Facility at Macquarie University.
